At the Pinnacle of Power: My Insider Report Alarms Bigwigs in Beijing's Elite Circle

After praising Lin Yi with the eight-character principle and setting an example for Qiao Fengchu, Lu Wolong completely ignored Chen Yunfan, who had a dark face, and continued his report.

In his subsequent report, he didn't talk about achievements, but only about problems and solutions, as well as the key tasks for the second half of the year—he was incredibly low-key!

Finally, Lu Mingrui confidently looked to the future: "I believe that under the strong leadership and support of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, and under the correct guidance of Governor Lin Yi, the pilot work of shantytown renovation and real estate reform in Ninghai City will surely be a complete success! All other work in Ninghai City will also proceed smoothly, ensuring the completion of the annual tasks and taking Ninghai's economic development and people's livelihood to a new level!"

Hearing Lu Mingrui's powerful voice, the expressions of the leaders from various cities and provincial departments, as well as the members of the Provincial Party Committee sitting on the rostrum, were somewhat complicated.

Lu Mingrui mentioned Lin Yi several times in his report. People who didn't know the situation might think that Lu Mingrui was the mayor of Ninghai City and Lin Yi was the secretary of the Ninghai City Party Committee!

Chen Yunfan gave Lu Mingrui a death stare with a cold face.

Lu Mingrui noticed Chen Yunfan's gaze, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, full of disdain, as if to say: You come and I'll beat you up.

Chen Yunfan was filled with rage, but in the end, he looked away without saying a word.

Since Lu Mingrui was reporting on behalf of Ninghai City, Chen Yunfan was not qualified to comment on him, nor could he continue to attack Lu Mingrui after You Changqing's mediation.

Moreover, compared to Lin Yi, Chen Yunfan was even less willing to provoke Lu Mingrui!

Lu Mingrui is an eccentric individual who doesn't play by the rules and does whatever he wants!

Take Lu Mingrui's remarks before his report, for example. Would a municipal party secretary dare to say that at the provincial economic work conference?

Although none of the subsequent speeches from other cities and provincial departments, or from Provincial Party Secretary You Changqing, mentioned Nanxia City, Chen Yunfan felt that every second was agonizing. It felt as if he had been murdered and then his corpse was being constantly whipped!

For him, today's meeting was even more humiliating and frustrating than the provincial party committee meeting a while ago—Lu Mingrui had already humiliated him without Lin Yi even having to lift a finger, and Qiao Huihuang had betrayed him, which was an absolute disgrace!

After the meeting, Chen Yunfan was the first to get up and leave the podium, his expression particularly gloomy.

Chen Yunfan probably won't let this go so easily, right?

Seeing this scene, almost all the attendees had the same thought, and most of them couldn't help but glance at Qiao Huihuang.

In their view, if Chen Yunfan had to choose a target for revenge, it would definitely be Qiao Huihuang!

After all, Lin Yi is someone you can't afford to offend, Lu Mingrui is not someone you can mess with, only Qiao Huihuang is someone you can easily control!

The facts proved everyone's judgment correct.

After returning to Nanxia, ​​Chen Yunfan took revenge on Qiao Huihuang!

Nine o'clock the next morning.

Chen Yunfan convened a five-person meeting to discuss personnel adjustments, including recommending to the provincial party committee to replace three provincial-level cadres: the vice mayor in charge of housing and construction, the director of the housing and construction bureau, and the director of the provincial government office. He also proposed to adjust more than ten municipal-level cadres under Qiao Huihuang, on the grounds that they had not done a good job in shantytown renovation and economic work and had been criticized by the province.

This is a bit like bullying!

After the meeting began, Shen Feng, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and secretary of the political and legal affairs committee, and Ji Ming, secretary of the municipal discipline inspection commission, both felt that Chen Yunfan was bullying them too much after hearing the list of adjusted positions provided by the head of the municipal party committee's organization department!

Among them, the municipal party committee organization minister, who acted as Chen Yunfan's mouthpiece, took the lead in expressing his opinion after the report, and unequivocally supported Chen Yunfan - those positions should be replaced with Chen Yunfan's people!

"I believe the fundamental reason why the shantytown renovation and economic work haven't been done well lies in the decisions made by the municipal party committee, not in their implementation at the lower levels. Therefore, I disagree with this personnel adjustment!"

Qiao Huihuang remained expressionless, no longer holding back as before, but directly confronting Chen Yunfan at the meeting, stating that the problem mainly lay with Chen Yunfan, the municipal party secretary!

Now that he has chosen to side with Lin Yi and has betrayed Chen Yunfan at the provincial economic work conference for the first half of the year, he has no more scruples and is ready to go all out!

Chen Yunfan's eye twitched, and he said in a sinister tone, "Comrade Huihuang, you are the mayor, the main person in charge of the shantytown renovation and economic work. If, as you just said, the problem lies in the decision-making, then you, as the main leader, should resign!"

"Comrade Yunfan, don't forget that I suggested learning from the Ninghai model at the meeting in May, and you were the one who led the opposition. Shouldn't you bear the responsibility for that?" Qiao Huihuang retorted sharply, while secretly admiring Lin Yi's foresight.

If it weren't for Lin Yi's advice and reminder, Qiao Huihuang would be in a very difficult situation now. Chen Yunfan would definitely try to shift the blame and put all the responsibility on Qiao Huihuang!

Even if Qiao Huihuang finds You Changqing, You Changqing, who is good at balancing things, might choose to sacrifice Qiao Huihuang.

But things are different now. Not only has he shirked his responsibilities, but Lin Yi is also standing behind him. What is there to be afraid of?

"Comrade Huihuang, all the resolutions of the Municipal Party Committee are made collectively, and you alone cannot overturn them! The organization will decide who should take responsibility, and it is not your place to spout nonsense here!"

Chen Yunfan sneered, feeling that Qiao Huihuang was overestimating himself. In terms of position, Qiao Huihuang was the mayor, while he was the municipal party secretary and also a member of the provincial party committee. In terms of background and connections, Qiao Huihuang wasn't even worthy of carrying his shoes!

After speaking, Chen Yunfan looked at Shen Feng: "Comrade Shen Feng, what's your opinion?"

"Since there are differing opinions regarding this personnel adjustment, let's put it to the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee for deliberation and hear the opinions of more comrades." Shen Feng chose to smooth things over.

Although he knew that Qiao Huihuang had betrayed Chen Yunfan at the provincial mid-year work conference, mostly in an attempt to side with Lin Yi, he was not one of Lin Yi's protégés and was unaware of Lin Yi's stance.

Under these circumstances, he certainly wouldn't blindly support Qiao Huihuang!

Even if Lin Yi were to support Qiao Huihuang, he would still have to consider the stakes from a self-interest perspective, and consult with Cao Guotao behind the scenes before making a decision!

"The problems in the renovation of the Nanxia shantytown and economic development are not the fault of one person alone. Moreover, the most urgent task is to rectify the problems and formulate the next work plan, not to discuss who should take responsibility or punish those responsible. Therefore, I do not support this personnel adjustment." As Shen Feng finished speaking, Ji Ming also spoke up.

He is different from Shen Feng.

Shen Feng was Lin Yi's ally in Nanxia, ​​while Ji Ming was Lin Yi's protégé, bearing Lin Yi's label and being a key member of Lin Yi's disciplinary force!

Under these circumstances, since Qiao Huihuang betrayed Chen Yunfan for Lin Yi's sake, he naturally had to support Qiao Huihuang!

"I support the personnel adjustment proposed by the Municipal Party Committee's Organization Department. Since there are differences of opinion among comrades, let's set a date for the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee to review it." Chen Yunfan said with a frown, and then proposed to adjourn the meeting.

However, as he was leaving, Chen Yunfan suddenly stopped and asked, "Comrade Huihuang, is Qiao Haibin your cousin?"

"Yes, Secretary Yunfan, what's wrong?" Qiao Huihuang raised an eyebrow. His cousin, Qiao Haibin, was the vice mayor of Shantai City in Dongshan Province and was a core member of the Qiao family.

"There are rumors that Qiao Haibin has been placed under investigation."

Chen Yunfan said something casually, then left with a cold laugh!

Geek!

Qiao Huihuang was shocked, and his face instantly turned extremely ugly.

He was determined to restore the glory of the Qiao family and paid special attention to the development of his cousin, Qiao Haibin.

If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have said something like "accumulating good deeds" in front of Lin Yi!

Now that Qiao Haibin has been placed under investigation, it is a major loss for the Qiao family and undoubtedly a heavy blow to Qiao Huihuang!

Moreover, Chen Yunfan's special reminder was tantamount to telling him and everyone else that he had used his camp's influence in Dongshan Province to place Qiao Haibin under investigation, thus giving everyone a warning!

Not only Qiao Huihuang, but Shen Feng's expression also changed slightly.

Ji Ming frowned slightly.

Soon, Qiao Huihuang returned to his office. Just as he was about to call to inquire about his cousin Qiao Haibin, he received a call from Qiao Haibin's father.

"Second Uncle, I just heard about what happened at the seaside. What exactly happened?" Qiao Huihuang asked as soon as he answered the phone.

Immediately, an angry voice came through the receiver: "Qiao Huihuang, you still have the nerve to ask me? Isn't it because you messed with the wrong person, implicated Haibin, and caused Haibin to be placed under investigation! You didn't stick with He Qingyun, and being abandoned by him was bad enough, but you turned to the enemy and sided with Lin Yi, and even went to provoke Chen Yunfan—who gave you the courage to be the target of public criticism? Do you have the ability to do this? Qiao Huihuang, you chose this path, you did this, and Haibin was implicated because of you. You must find a way to resolve this! Since you've sided with Lin Yi, then go find Lin Yi and ask him to rescue Haibin..."

"Second Uncle, this is impossible!"

Qiao Huihuang immediately refused. He knew Lin Yi and knew that Lin Yi would never help with this kind of thing, and he would not go to Lin Yi because of his cousin's matter!

"Heh, then why did you side with Lin Yi? To be his pawn? You brainless idiot, you'll end up like Haibin and become a sinner to the Qiao family!" Qiao Haibin's father cursed for several minutes before hanging up the phone.

Qiao Huihuang put down his phone with a grim expression.

His cousin was placed under investigation and his second uncle criticized him, which made Qiao Huihuang feel very complicated. However, he did not call Lin Yi. He just silently endured everything and encouraged himself with Lin Yi's words: Only when you are strong can the Qiao family have hope of revival!

On the other side, Ji Ming, the secretary of the municipal discipline inspection commission, returned to his office and first inquired about the matter of Qiao Huihuang's cousin, Qiao Haibin, being placed under investigation.

After clarifying the specific situation, Ji Ming called Lin Yi and reported the five-person group meeting and the matter of Qiao Huihuang's cousin to Lin Yi.

"Ji Ming, you have two things to do next..."

Upon learning that Chen Yunfan had taken retaliatory action against Qiao Huihuang, Lin Yi immediately gave instructions to Ji Ming.

"Yes, Governor Lin!"

Ji Ming immediately accepted the order, and only after Lin Yi hung up the phone did he put down his phone, walk to the window, look in the direction of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee building, and sneer:

"Chen Yunfan, you know that Qiao Huihuang has pledged his allegiance to Lin Yi, yet you still dare to blatantly retaliate against Qiao Huihuang. You're practically courting death!"
